As usual, this team will not meet with the approval of all who read it, but it was picked mainly by the referees that watched the games carefully from behind the plate, and on the field. Their opinion should be better than the writer's, because they come into more close contact with the members of more teams Third Year For Brennheisen
By unanimous vote Leo Brennheisen, Sig Alph, was chosen the best catcher in the league, for the third straight year, and this gives him the captaincy of this mythical team. Leo is one of the smartest players in the league and also a good all-around player. His only competitors for the top spot, were way below him in generalship and play.
Great difference of opinion was expressed in the chosing of the best man for the first base position. Stoland, Meade and Ewers all were well liked, and for awhile it was thought it would be necessary to pick all of them until we took into consideration the batting and fielding percentages of each, then the results placed Stoland on the first team and Meade on the second squad.
Dick Pierce at Second
Dick Pierce, of the Beta clan, was the best second baseman in the league for the whole season but if it had not been for a leg injury, Don Powell, Phi Psi, would have been right in the running for this spot.
Johnny Krum held down the whole left side of the Phi Psi team, besides being one of the most consistent and hardest hitters in the league. Johnny played errorless ball all season and stopped many a rally with his miraculous catches.
Harp Best Short Stop
Dick Harp with his speed and throwing arm, is the class of a fine group of short stops. He has led the Sig Alphs in batting in several of the games, and always seems to come through when the chips are really down.
In my opinion, this is as strong an infield as you could pick from the league players, and if they were all
In the outfield, we made several changes of players, from their regular positions, to add power and stability to the team. Lonnecker and Johnson were both short fielders in the regular season, but could handle these positions equally as well and with their throwing arms and their agility, a fly ball would have a hard time getting away from them. Voran was a first baseman, but because he is such a power at the bat, that we didn't see how we could leave him off our team. He has a natural ability and uses it to the greatest advantage.
gathered together on one team, it would be a hard bunch to beat. Change A Few Positions
In the right shortstop, or short field position, we put Bowlby, because he is the fastest and smartest of any if the outfielders and also a danger-

Hogben Wins Softball Cup From Alph's
Beta Theta Pi is the new champion of the intramural softball league. They defeated the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team Friday, by the very narrow margin of 2 to 1. In winning this title, they came closer than ever to cinching the sweepstakes cup.
All of the scoring was done in the first inning of the ballgame. Beta led off by scoring two runs on a triple by Hogben, and a wild pitch by Hall. Weinecke was on base on Hogben's blow and came in standing up and then Hogben raced home a minute later with what proved to be the winning tally.
Alph's Fill Bases
In the Sig Alph half of the inning they were able to score one run and fill the bases, but from that point Hogben set them down in easy fashion. Amerine, batting .633 for the series until yesterday, was not able to bring in the men that were on base in that inning and it cost the Alph's the game.
In the third, the Alph's were able to get men on second and third, but again Hogben buckled down to the task and no scores were let across. This time it was Harp that failed to come through.
Many Disputed Plays
There were several disputed plays, and on one that kept a run from being scored, the consensus of opinion of the many fans was that the ruling was wrong, but that is baseball, and it would be a dull game if there wasn't any difference of opinion.
This is the second time that the Beta's have beaten the Alph's this year. The earlier game was more free-scoring and the result was 8-6.
Play was very good throughout the game, and it took the fielders and infield to make the outs, as there were only three strikeouts in the entire game. After the first inning, neither team allowed the other to score and in most innings, there were only three or four men at bat, this shows how few hits there were.
Bud Morris Leads Freshman Golfers
Bud Morris won medalist honors yesterday at the Country Club links with a score of 162 for 36 holes as eleven freshmen toured the course in quest of the four or five numerals which will be awarded by Coach William H. Shannon.
Other competitors and their scores were: Jack Hall, 164; Jack Wilson, 175; Bob Kirk, 183; Earl Olson, 186; Glenn Dunne, 187; Fred Gades, 193; Bob Weaver, 194; Dan McKay, 194; Scott Hookins, 185; and Howard Babcock, 200.
Jayhawks Win In Extra Innings
Ames, Iowa, May 25—(Special) Henry Horak, diminutive Jayhawk southpaw, and his Kansas teammates ended a dreary Big Six baseball season in a blaze of glory here this afternoon as they battled through fourteen gruelling innings with the Iowa State Cyclones and finally came out on top 3 to 2 in the first game of today's double header.
The Cyclonas bounced back to salvage the second game from "Red" Dugan, Kansas right hander, by a score of 5 to 3.
Although the first contest was scheduled for only seven innings, the opposing nines had to travel twice the distance before the Jayhawks pushed the winning run
across the plate in the first half of the fourteenth. The Cyclones had sent the game into extra innings by tieing the count at 2 to 2 in the last half of the seventh inning.
In the second game of the afternoon, the Cyclones fell on "Red" Dugan for four runs in the fourth inning to untie a 1 to 1 knot which had existed since the first frame. The Jayhawks rallied in the fifth, but were halted two runs shook of a tie.
Leon Wilson, ace of the Cyclone pitching staff, chalked up his second victory this spring over the Jayhawks as he outpitched Jack Sands, Kansas hurler and first baseman in the first game of the series Friday afternoon and scored the run which Gave Iowa State a 2 to 1 decision in the last half of the twelfth inning.
